Outside Magazine just named 32 best trails, each with a different claim to fame — “Best Trail that Doesn’t Exist,” “Best Trail for Getting High,” etc. Four titles are awarded to trails in our Great Lakes states:
- Best Prehistoric Trail: Ice Age National Scenic Trail, Wisconsin
- Best Trail for Donating Blood: Superior Hiking Trail, Minnesota
- Best Canoe Trail: Northern Forest Canoe Trail, partly in New York
- Best Burrow: Freedom Tunnel, New York
The only one of these along a Great Lake, however, is Minnesota’s Superior Hiking Trail. This can’t be the only Great Lakes trail worthy of a spot on their list! So help us out. Name your favorite Great Lakes trail and its claim to fame in the comments below!
The only rule: You must be able to see a Great Lake from some point on the trail.
